Golf Course Architecture

This is a slight exaggeration, but the reconstruction of all eighteen greens complexes on the West course (Burma Road to give it its nickname, for those who remember such days!) has caused much gossip, rumour and debate within our industry. So what is the truth, are the greens going to play better than in the recent past, is the design in keeping and of tournament quality, just what has been going on at Britain’s richest estate?

In the latest edition of Greenkeeper International its Editor, Scott MacCallum, poses the question of whether golf courses in the UK should have a system of national protection, the equivalent of a Listed Building status. Good question Scott.
